Mine have free fed pellets, day and night, early afternoon they have greens and so on then evening a scoop of corn to go to bed with. Winter my routine changes and they will get warm porridge in the evening with stuff like sunflower seed and anything else to hand mixed in.

An Egg is for breakfast, a chook is for life

my chucks moved into their new run today, a 9ftx6foot ish run which houses their ark, so they have the ark, the floor under the ark and the run to move around in.

I shall post some pictures shortly

I'm hoping they like the new run....

They seem quite content in their little run, just wandering around, however as I let them out into the big run, my leghorn sort of karate kicked one of the others...is this normal behaviour

yep - when combining to groups of hens, they naturally have a pecking order in each group, now they have to sort that out all over again as they interact with the other group!

be pepared for the odd spat spit and fight for a couple of days until they sort them selves out.
